Yes, This Is Art

It's a sculpture with animal bones and neon called "Red Marrow," and it's by Hunter O'Reilly, an artist with a Ph.D. in genetics who teaches biology and art at the University of Wisconsin, Parkside. An exhibit of her works, containing paintings and digital works "reinterpreting biotechnology as art," opens in September at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
